MO103 Working With Your Creative Muse

With Judith Campanaro

5 weeks   Open 3

This is a five week course filled with creative activities to help release your creative muse. If you've ever had the desire to do art but think you have no talent this class is for you. If you already do art but feel blocked in some way this class is for you. No experience is neccessary just the deisre to have fun and explore. The assignments were inspired by my new e-book "An Adventure into Self Discovery a Workbook for Self Expression." As a special gift to you for joining our group you will receive a free copy of this new e-book hot off the press and published by our very own Drawspace forum.

Level of Instruction: Beginner
Course Length: 5 weeks
Medium: mixed media
Class Size: 10 maximum

For this course I've used excerpts from my new e-book An Adventure in Self Discovery-A Workbook for Self Expression. In each class we'll discuss different aspects of life's journey. There is no right or wrong way to do the exercises. The key is to have fun while you do the assignments and the rest will happen on its own.
